| My Terrible Emotiva Experience My late father, may the Lord rest his soul, used to say "if you buy used, then you're usually buying other people's problems." I have found that to be true for me as a general proposition, although YMMV. Notwithstanding what Emotiva told you, you ... | |

| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? XLR, provided that the components to which the connection is made are truly balanced. | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In? Plugging the port of a speaker that was not designed as a sealed unit is easy. However, it likely will change the innate sound characteristics of the speaker for which you purchased it in the first place. | |
| All New ROTEL MICHI GEAR // State-Of-The-Art Rotel is decent, entry level gear. However, reputations are built over a long period of time, and Rotel’s likely will follow the Michi line, no matter how good it may be. I think that resale value and reliability also have to be considered in this... | |

| Gold or Platinum Grade of Tubes for BAT Preamp. @rushfan71 ... actually it was about $100, and all I wanted to know was whether the tighter tolerances were worth the extra scratch from an audible perspective. I’ve got plenty tied up in cables because I can hear the difference ... I don’t know w... | |

| Gold or Platinum Grade of Tubes for BAT Preamp. @petg60 ... my mistake ... I meant to say that the 6H23-EB is a direct replacement for the 6922. | |
| Gold or Platinum Grade of Tubes for BAT Preamp. @petg60 ... the 6H30 will not work in the VK-33 as it is a 6922 based preamp. It will work in the SE version, which I didn't purchase, because I wanted the option to tube roll and am not a fan of the 6H30. Nonetheless, I have a wide variety of tub... | |
| Gold or Platinum Grade of Tubes for BAT Preamp. @petg60 ... Victor from BAT told me that the 6H30 is a direct replacement for the 6922. | |
| Gold or Platinum Grade of Tubes for BAT Preamp. @stereo5 ... the VK-33 appears to be the last of the current BAT preamps to use the 6922. The "SE" version uses the 6H30, and I think all other BAT preamps now are using the 6H30. The VK-33 has been discontinued recently, so I got a decent, discou... | |
| Gold or Platinum Grade of Tubes for BAT Preamp. @noromance ... that makes sense to me. Thanks for the advice. | |
| Gold or Platinum Grade of Tubes for BAT Preamp. @noromance ... The $$ isn’t the issue. I just want to know whether the claimed difference in tolerance will be audible from a small signal tube. If it will, then I’ll gladly pay the extra. | |
